GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this manual is to assist in setting up, operating and
maintaining your backhoe. Read it carefully. It furnishes information and
instructions that will help you achieve years of dependable performance.
Right and left, when referred to in this manual, are determined from
the operator's control position when facing the backhoe.
The illustrations and data used in this manual were current (according
to the information available to us) at the time of printing, however, we
reserve the right to redesign and change the backhoes as may be necessary
without notification.
PREPARING THE TRACTOR
WARNING! Never let anyone operate this tractor and backhoe without
understanding all of the "Safety Precautions" and "Operating
Instructions" sections of this manual. (See Section B and G
respectively.) Always choose hard, level ground to park the
tractor on and set the brake so that the tractor cannot roll.
BACKHOE
Basic backhoes are shipped complete with bucket. However, several
bucket options are available for the backhoe. Refer to the table for proper
identification of backhoe bucket options.
